Returned to Cheyenne.

Curt" Boatman, whose arrest, trial
and conviction in the district court here in
Cheyenne some years ago on the charge
of having disposed of a COW which was al
legged to have belonged to one of our
leading citizens caused considerable com
ment from the fact that the general i'm
preston was that he was not guilty, re-
turned to Cheyenne yesterday and will
remain here or in the territory perman-
emily. Boatman is one of the best and
most efficient COWBOYS on the plains, and
las always borne a good reputation, but
in the case alluded to there was some
pretty strong swearing against him, which
resulted in his conviction. Having no
means at that time to enable him to carry
the case to the supreme court of the terri
tory, he was obliged to serve out his sen.
tence which. however, on account of his
good behavior, was cut short, and now
having fallen heir to a considerable
amount of money he returns to Cheyenne
as a man among men and meets here many
old friends, who are glad to take him by
the hand.

A Fatal Blast.

BUENA VISTA, Col, April l5.-At 5
o'clock last evening a premature blast
killed six men and wounded seven
at the camp of Kyner, Hig-
bee & Bernard, while working in
a sixty-foot cut on the Midland grade
near Buena Vista. A twenty.foot hole
had been put down to blow off the face of
the cut, and sprung with twenty kegs of
black giant powder. The foreman was
loading the charge and it prematurcly
discharged, throwing masses of rocks into
the cut where thirteen men were working,
instantly killing SIX and ~wounding seven.
The wounded included Mr.. Bernard, one
of the firm, but none were fatally wound
ed. The dead lie at the morguc here.
The narnes of the killed are: jim Sulli-
van, VIM. Conway, W. s. Cochran, VIM.
O'Neil, VIM. Hopes, and an unknown
man. The wounded are receiving the
best of attention by Mr.. j. H, Griffith,
who is in charge of the camp. Some
claim that the explosion was caused by
tamping the blast with an iron bar.
There are conflicting statements, however,
in this respect.

A Difference of Opinion.

WASHINGTON, April l5.-The commits
sion has received the petition of the
American Sugar Refining company, of
San Francisco. 1t sets forth that the i'm
mediate effect of the fourth section, unless
modified, will be to entirely destroy the
business of distribution of the products of
our mandatory in the states of the Mis-.
sissippi valley" The compan has over
one million dollars invested in machinery
and material devoted to tho manufacture
of refined sugar, and has large contracts
for future business, involving many mil
lion dollars, based upon facilities and OPP
portunities offered by overland roads. The
enforcement of the law will destroy its
trade and capital. The railroads are will
ling to continue the old rates, and the
petitioners ask that they may be permitted
to do 50.
Fourteen sugar reineries of New York
and Philadelphia unite in a letter to the
commission that they understand that the
Pacific railroads are about to make appli-
cation to be released from the operation
of section 4. Before their request is
granted, the refners ask an opportunity
to be heard in opposition. 1T is alleged"
they say, that the Pacific railroads have
been carrying sugar at SO per ton from
San Francisco to Missouri river points,
while charging Salt Lake City about $25
per ton upon a sherter distance. The re-
suit has been that Eastern sugar refners
have been excluded from markets which
geographically belong to them, upon all
grades of sugars made by San Francisco

A Liberal View.

LONDON, April 15.-Sir William Yer
non Harcourt, resuming the debate on the
coercion bill in the house of commons
this afternoon, said the alliance between
Liberals and Parnellites was based on a
Liberal recognition of the fact that the
wisest policy in Irish affairs lay in the ac-
ceptance of some form of Irish govern
ment which would tend to satisfy the
Irish people. He twitted Lord Randolph
Churchill and Mr.. Chamberlain with hav-
ing secretly consulted Parnell, seeking to
make an alliance with him for their own
purposes. The bill would fail to suppress
the Irish National League because the
people of Ireland believed in the league
and trusted it, The effect of the enforce
ment of the bill would be to make the
government detested and the league more
popular = yer. If the government
earnest. e d to maintain the union
let them abandon exasperating the Irish
people aud adopt the policy of justice

Excitement in the Commons.

"a hAS OSL1L4o11os
LONDON, April l5.-In the commons
Maj. Sanderson CONSERVATIVE said the
National League was supported mainly by
criminals, dYnamiters and murderers,
across the Atlantic. Healy rose to a point
OF order. The speaker replied that Mai.
Sanderson made the gravest charges, but
these could be met in debate. Healy re.
sponded that he would say what he
thought of Sanderson regardless of con-
sequences. If Mai. Sanderson referred
to him, he had no hesitation in saying
Sanderson was a liar. The speaker called
upon Healy to withdraw his expression.
Healy replied: Il am not entitled to rise
till you sit down" The speaker resumed
his chair.
Healy again took the floor and said:
II ain only able to meet the charge in
n way. If you rule Maj. Sanderson in
order, my expression is equally in order.
If you rule him out of order, l shall
withdraw my expression
The speaker: That's not SO. San
derson made a charge of the gravest
nature. It's his duty to prove it if he
can, but | cannot allow the expression
you used"
Healy repeated that Sandersou was a
liar. The speaker again called upon
Healy to withdraw. Healy refused. The
speaker thereupon named him, and w.
Fl. Smith, first lord of the treasury,
moved Healy be suspended.
Redmond Jumped up and shouted: Il
say he is a liar, too" The motion to
suspend was carried by ll8 to SO.
Sanderson. upon attempting to resume
his speech, was interrupted by cries of
withdraw" withdraw"
Sexton, interrupting, asked Sander
son whether he (Sanderson) persisted in
his statement or would withdraw it.
Sanderson replied hat Sheridan was a
member of the executive committee of
which the member for West Belfast (Sex.
ton) was also a member.
Sexton-"Dld L know him to be a
murderer did L aver associate with a man
whom | knew to be a murderer"
Sanderson-'I said Sheridan was on
the committee, and against him a true
bill was found for completely in the
Phoenix park murders. The committee
pust have known what kind of a man he
was"
Here Sexton. springing to his feet,
shouted-'I say you are a wilful. coward
ly liar. If L only met you outside the
door of this house, l would thrash you
within an inch of your life.
The speaker arose and addressed the
house, but his voice was inaudible above
the din, When quiet was somewhat re-
stored the speaker arose and asked San
derson whether he charged Sexton with
associating with murderers. Sanderson,
after evasive answers, eventually with
drew the words he used. The speaker
then asked Sexton to withdraw his ex-
preston, which he did.

RLsvyT FERTILIZATION.

~ ticssble In Arctic Flowers.
Now, all the world over, mountain
plants, especially those that grow be-
You'd the limit Of trees. and close up to
the very snow-line, are celebrated for
their exceptional display of vivid color.
Every body must at least have heard Of
the Alpine gentinans, globe SHOWERS and
daffodils, that belt with blue or gold or
primrose whole zones of mountain-side
in Swiss spring-time. Exactly the same
thing is true Of the artistic flowers;

fuse bloom. a hundred times more vivid
and peryasive than any thing to be
seen in those much overpraised and
misreprcsented tropics. Even in tenn
perate Europe and America. every body
must have noticed that, as we go up the
higher hills, we find their slopes purpled
with heather or golden with gorse, pink
with mountain-laurel, or crimson with
masses of the wild rhododendron.
Why is this?' Simply because among
the uplands, and more especially close
to the snow-line, bees are rare. and the
work Of fertilization is mainly left to
the care of butterflies. Now, the bee,
as every body knows, is steady, regu-
lar, business-like worker; he flies low,
hunts close, never mixes his liquors.

Hence tho flowers that specially cater

the other hand, is well known to be a

flies high from bunch to bunch Of large
and noticeable bright-hued flowers.
Above all other members of the insect
tribe. he is lover Of color: big patches
of red or white or purple are the things
to attract him from q distance with
their massive glare. and TO draw him
down from his careless flight in the eye
of heaven. Hence butterfly flowers

closely together to reinforce one an
